Airplane Study

thats coming along very nicely, ilove the shots with the plane hidden just with the rivits LOL!...
-
Nice, looks like some parts came from the Space Shuttle.
-
Dear Eric,
Perhaps you could take some of the trickier modelled parts and create a few 'how-to-do' tutorials. Perhaps some of the engine components?
Kind regards,
Bob -
Eric, you freak!!
business slow? as the detail is getting insane...but amazing.
If I may Inquire, whats the poly count and file size at this point?This is going to look friggin amazing, this needs a great render and even an Animation (offering to do an animation if you willing to loan the final model out for a test flight)
-
I just may do that. I am at work now so I don't have the model, it is at home. Will check the poly and file size later.
I only hope I can do the model justice with a nice rendering and not make it look cheesy. Still learning.
And yes business is slow but I have done all this at home on my time, not at the office. I reserve office play time for stupid visual puns

Eric
that is looking amazingmike d
-
damn....this is looking pretty crazy..any tricks for adding the rivets? or just hard work with copy and copy/rotate?
-
Copy and rotate. I did make a component for half the airplane so I only had to do one side since it is symmetrical. The fuselage and tail section took the most time. The wings and engine were easy. I also made the rivets a bit long so I did not have to make sure the face matched perfectly in each spot.
-
Ok Pete, the count so far is 229,799 faces at 6.13mb.
-
you got my attention dude. Really nice model , love models with a lot of detail
One always start off, very excited and during the time you get bored building it because it take soo long to model, till then you add detail and cant stop doing it because it makes the model come alive.You should make the cockpit window flip open, and a side panel next to it, to get easier into the plane. Also then you can see some inside panel detail, underneath the glass fixtures details and inside the cockpit itself which will look awesome. dont worry about poly count..su will handle it. I have a model over 3 mil poly count and su still holds.

this is really awsome like i told you before, its an insane model, i like it a lot, keep rocking bro!!

Wanna bet?
It will do loop-da-loops, I'll even post the video footage to prove it.
-
Well thanks again all. I have pretty much modeled all that I see on the reference image. I will have to consider what else to add before rendering.

I am sure Solo loves a challenge. Looking forward to seeing this bird in the sky.

I had an Arch Professor, who looking over my shoulder at anyone of my drawings would say. . .
"Lovely. . .but it 'll never fly. . ." so . .. Take if from me. . .It's the highest of compliments!

Snoopy's new ride

Ok, so I promised the reference image so here it is.
THIS IS NOT MY RENDERINGAnyway, like I said before, this was for my practice. To see if I could do it and I believe I came pretty darn close. I know there is a little piece under the fuselage that I did not model. I did not find it very appealing, so I just made the missiles instead
And again, all credit for design goes to "cannon" on the Modo Forum.Now if I can only do half as good a job with the textures and rendering I will be happy
-
fantastic Eric! and yet people will still say modo does not render well......Wait until 401!

I take it the manufacturers have not discovered the advantages of green technology.
